A distinctive Dutch Colonial residence at 40 Old North Road has sold for $1,300,000, marking a standout transaction in South County’s historic Kingston village. Colleen Hagarty of The Dowd Team represented the buyer, successfully navigating a competitive market to secure the home.
Blending European elegance with thoughtful design, the residence features a gourmet kitchen equipped with a seven-burner Ilve double oven, Carrara marble countertops, and a fluted ceramic farmhouse sink accented by DeVol aged brass fixtures. The kitchen opens to a sunlit living area with views of the meticulously landscaped backyard.
The main floor includes a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, a formal dining space, a private office or library, and a full bathroom with a rain shower. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a reading nook, and a second full bath, all appointed with rich hardwood flooring and abundant natural light.
Outside, a bluestone patio, pergola, fire pit, and raised garden beds create an inviting outdoor retreat. The fenced-in yard adds privacy and charm.
The property also includes a detached two-car garage with an integrated workout room and a renovated studio apartment above. The apartment features a full kitchen, bathroom, and a private stone patio, with a strong history of short-term rentals through Airbnb and VRBO—an added value for the buyer.
Located near the University of Rhode Island, the South County Bike Path, and the beaches of Narragansett and Watch Hill, the home offers both character and convenience, with accessible routes to Boston and New York.
Colleen’s knowledge of the South County market and her commitment to her clients were key in guiding her buyer through a competitive transaction and securing this one-of-a-kind home.
